<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The device (1) has an adjusting part (16) to adjust protective covers (31, 32) using pressure and fixing covering parts (5) that cover conductors of a flat flexible cable, at proximity of crimping pieces (13). The protective covers avoid load applied on the conductors from being transmitted directly to the crimping pieces. The adjusting part has upper and lower supports (21, 22) that are moved in order to be assembled and moved away. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a flat cable unit (2) a method for crimping a flat cable. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for crimping a flat cable e.g. flexible printed circuit or flexible flat cable, that is fixed to a terminal connection element and utilized in a multifunction vehicle for supplying electricity and transmitting signal from a controller to an electrical component mounted on the vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The protective covers avoid the load applied on the conductors from being transmitted directly to the crimping pieces, thus avoiding the damaging of the flat cable and terminal connection elements and improving the reliability of the connection between the flat cable and the terminal connection elements. The protective covers are fixed during the adjusting process so that the number of processes is reduced and the productivity is increased, and the default fixation of the protective covers or the fixation of erroneous protective covers is avoided. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a view representing protective covers installed on a crimping device. 1 : Crimping device 5 : Covering parts 13 : Crimping pieces 16 : Adjusting part 21 : Upper support 22 : Lower support 31, 32 : Protective covers #CMT#METALLURGY : #/CMT# The conductors are made of copper or copper alloy.</p> |
